Tailored to meet the specific needs of primary education, the church and church-based holiday clubs, this book explores the ethical issues surrounding the lives of the street children of Guatemala. The three sections comprise: 1. Fourteen learning intentions and lesson plans; 2. Five activity based programmes for schools and church based teaching groups; 3. A five-day holiday club programme based on the issues explored in sections 1 and 2. Each section stands alone but also informs and enhances the other two sections. Together the three sections provide a logical framework, moving from the issues to the Bible and through into action. Photocopy permission is included where appropriate.
